Abstract (en)
A method for reading a non-volatile memory, comprising the steps of: providing a first random memory reading cycle; performing, at the end of the random reading cycle, a collective page precharge; subsequently performing a reading cycle of the page or random type, depending on whether the subsequent reading must be performed within the same page or not; and if a page reading cycle is performed, executing, when the data item is captured, a page precharge step in preparation both for page reading and for random reading. <IMAGE>
